First Day of School

for me...

So far it is going ok. I am sort of disappointed, but I think I understand why now. At first it seemed that everything is so low key. Like everything is so elementary. I wanted a class that I would learn new things, things other than what I learned in undergrad. I started reading our assignments and it is the exact same things I did in undergrad. However, I say I am understanding because I am starting on my first paper that is due on Saturday! Nothing like an expedite class. It is hard because my mind is so foggy. Like it dying by not being challenged. So it is a bit hard right now trying to read and comprehend the readings and writing a paper on it. Slowly but surely I am getting there. I just hate the first assignment of any class, you never know what the teacher is expecting from you because they don't give complete directions. 

Everyone else is doing fine. Cade was a bit crabby today. We think he is teething again. I will be glad when these two top teeth come in finally. 

We are trying him on a sippy cup. He can already drink from a cup and a bottle. So we feel it is time, but he is having a hard time with it. We tried the Advent cups we had but he just chews on the nipple because it is hard plastic. He likes the Nuby ones from wal-mart because they have a silicon nipple, more like a bottle. He does rather well with it. He can hold his own bottle if you lay him in your lap or on the floor. He wont get the gravity effect until a few more months, when he realizes he has to lean back to get the cup in the air. We are also working on self-feeding. But that isn't going well. He hasn't got the pincher grasp down at all. So he just slaps the table in hopes of getting it into his hand. He did it a few times while on vacation. But still not great at it. Tomorrow I will be calling Parents as Teacher to set something up with them. I tried emailing them today and the email was sent back. But I was able to get a hold of her phone number. I am hoping she will also have some suggestions of play groups or other programs for "us" to attend.
